Non-ASCII is a headache for itself, as you sure know already... I can send
you a quick-and-ugly patch that should be on his way to a better shape in
the not-so-far future. Till then, here is what I have working at our
sites:
- HTML-texts are in Romanian (change it as you wish) so we have lots of
non_ASCII chars in it (most of them as real chars and an appropiate
"charset=iso-8859-2" META-option
- before indexing, non_ASCII chars are mapped to real ASCII text (both
from real chars as from html entities)
- the same mapping occurs in search phrases
Only inconvenient so far: users get also pages they actually don't wish
(all chars with accent 'suddenly' forget about that wghen searched.
Let me know if interested.
